How to turn off wake screen on Snapchat: iPhone and Android

Are you getting distracted by Snapchat messages? If you are not a fan of Snapchat's wake screen feature, then you should know that disabling it is possible. Read this article to find out how to do it!

What is the wake screen feature?

By default, Snapchat uses a Wake Screen feature that illuminates your smartphone when a notification hits your phone. Unfortunately, this feature can contribute to battery drain, illuminating your screen for a few seconds. However, once this feature is disabled, any Snapchat notification will be shown upon manually waking your device's screen. 

How to prevent Snapchat from waking your phone?

  • Launch the Snapchat for iPhone / Android app, and go to the Settings menu. 
  • From there, scroll to the Advanced section, and tap Notifications Settings. 
  • Next, you will need to uncheck the Wake Screen option.
